Accessibile West River Firearms Deer Hunt

GFP has a special unit for the West River firearms deer season in Stanley County (Unit 358D) for individuals who use a wheelchair for mobility.

This hunt takes place on a specified weekend in November. Individuals must complete the standard West River Deer application and submit it for the drawing of licenses.

An individual who is successful in drawing a license may hunt anywhere in Stanley County as allowed by the regular West River Deer license. In addition, GFP will allow successful applicants to hunt with volunteers from established blinds in a forested area below the Oahe Dam in Oahe Downstream Recreation Area north of Ft. Pierre.
